First World War United States Navy recruitment poster depicting a sailor holding a flag, with ships in the background. United States Navy operations during the First World War began on April 6 1917, after the formal declaration of war on Germany. The American Navy focused on countering enemy U-boats in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea while convoying men and supplies to frontlines in France and Italy. James Henry Daugherty (1889–1974) was an American modernist painter, muralist, children's book author, and illustrator. He studied at the Corcoran School of Art in Washington and later went to London and studied under Frank Brangwyn. During the First World War he was commissioned to produce propaganda posters for various US Government agencies, including the United States Shipping Board. He was also an artist for US Government in the 1920's. Daugherty's first publication was an illustration for John Flemming Wilson's series, Tad Sheldon, 'Boy Scout' (1913). He then worked camouflaging ships and creating four murals in Loew's State Theatre, Cleveland, while illustrating fiction, and signed and unsigned magazine work.
